The same domain name corresponds to multiple IPs in the hosts file, with an automatic switching mechanism

The operating system is Windows 11, and the following content is configured in the HOSTS file on the C drive: 192.168.10.10 www.simon.com 192.168.20.10 www.simon.com There are two private network servers providing website services, with server A's IP at 192.168.10.10 and server B's IP at 192.168.20.10. Then use Firefox to browse the website www.simon.com and set up Firefox's network.dnsCacheEntries、network.dnsCacheExpiration、network.dnsCacheExpirationGracePeriod Three configuration items are 0. When accessing normally, www.simon.com points to 192.168.10.10. When the 192.168.10.10 server fails, will it redirect to 192.168.20.10. What is the latency for switching domain names in Firefox? What is the mechanism for switching?

I downloaded firefox desktop for my imac 27" none of the passwords I had on file would work so I changed the password and tried it. It appeared to work but after a while the incorrect password came up again. I continued to try using the code you sent via email several times and even though it appeared to. accept the password it still rejects your code. I have tried both caps and lower case characters but it still rejects the login

Hello,

I’m reaching out because I’ve been experiencing persistent loading delays on Firefox across all websites. Pages eventually load, but it consistently takes longer than it should or don't load at all, can't even log in on some sites such as Twitch. At first, I thought the issue was only on YouTube, but I’ve confirmed it affects all websites.

I’ve already gone through extensive troubleshooting steps, including: Clearing cookies and cache Changing DNS providers (tried both Cloudflare and Google DNS) Using the Firefox Refresh option Fully reinstalling Firefox Scanning my system for malware (none detected) Verifying that no extensions or add-ons are installed Confirming my internet connection and speed are stable Testing the same sites in Chrome, where everything loads smoothly Despite all of this, the problem persists only in Firefox. Thank you in advance for your support!

I want to delete/remove subject folder from my Windows 11 desktop. I did not create this folder; it suddenly appeared after I reinstalled the Firefox browser. These are the steps I am using in the deletion process: I right click on the folder and click on the delete icon. At the top of the window it says "Folder Access Denied." (Image 1) Below that it says, "You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder." If I click on the "Continue" button, then the error message changes to "You require permission from OWNER/(me) ... to make changes to this folder." (Image 3) The permissions for this folder listed in the "Security" tab lists three groups: 1. "SYSTEM," 2. "F... S... (...@ Outlook.com)" and 3. "Administrators (Owners/Administrators)." All the foregoing have full control and modify control for this folder. The "More details" seen in Images 1 and 3 is grayed out so I cannot get any additional information. How can I delete this unnecessary and data hogging folder? Thank you all very much in advance to all that chose to respond.

Hello, So I have chosen Firefox as my default for 10 years now over the others. Lately every time you guys update I can't play videos from Starz and Paramount. First one update ruined Starz and now this past update ruined Paramount. YouTube plays fine and Netflix play fine.. Network TV stations play fine (CBS, NBC, Fox, & ABC). Now no matter what I do as far as setting I can't get videos to play on those 2 Platform

Autofill versus automatically login ("Autologin")

Firefox offers to automatically save user IDs and corresponding passwords on a site by site basis. It then will offer (or in some cases just insert the information) on the same site's login page when you return. This seems to be called "autofill" in the documents.

However, for some sites (and this appears to be random), when confronted with a login page, not only will Firefox automatically insert the user ID and PW (autofill), but for each step it will ALSO accept the insertion to move to the next question, effectively automatically log in.

For example, for one site, when I open a new tab and navigate to a site that I had previously saved user ID and PW for, the login page will briefly flash, and then I will be automatically logged into the site. There seems to be no name that I can find to describe this behaviour that distinguishes it from the "autofill" described above. I will call it "autologin" for this question.

My question is how to control this behaviour? I have not consciously chosen to have Firefox autologin for any site, but I do save ID and PW for the autofill capability. Is there a way to turn the autologin on or off (i.e. control it) for specific sites?

I’d like to give some feedback regarding the built-in PDF editor. I really enjoy this feature and use it often because it’s convenient and easy to work with. However, there’s an issue that has forced me to stop using it for now.

Whenever I add text to a PDF using Firefox’s editor, everything looks fine on my computer. But once I upload the edited PDF to another platform such as Google Drive, the text I typed disappears and turns into empty boxes. This means the annotations or filled-in fields are no longer readable on other devices or cloud services.

At the moment, the edited PDF can only be viewed properly on my own computer, and this limitation makes it difficult to share documents or submit forms. I sincerely hope this compatibility issue can be improved, because I really do love Firefox’s PDF editing feature and would like to continue using it.

Thank you for your work, and I hope the team can look into this problem!

I keep getting emails regarding my signing into accounts from different locations. Now the thing is that I use a VPN to access MSN outside of China because I cannot read the Chinese version. It is kind of annoying getting the emails from MSN but there is no way to contact whoever to let them know I use a VPN. Does anyone know who I can inform about this?
